THE star of a Scottish TV show has had both legs and her right arm amputated after she contracted deadly sepsis when she took ill with a kidney stone.

Doctors battling to save the mum-of-five, who found fame on BBC documentary The Scheme, were forced to take drastic action after an abscess burst — flooding her body with poison and causing multiple organ failure.

Cunningham admitted heroin possession after a cop raid on a flat he shared with Baird. But he dodged jail last month due to Annie’s sepsis diagnosis.

Lawyer David McPherson told Kilmarnock Sheriff Court: “His mother is unw­ell in hospital. She’s likely to be there for six months.”

Annie and her Cunningham clan were a focal point of the controversial 2010 BBC Scotland reality series about life on Kilmarnock’s tough Onthank estate.

Some episodes had to be postponed as several participants faced court cases.
